The bakers at Healthy Bakery can make 170 bagels in 2 hours. How many

bagels can they bake in 14 hours? What was that rate per hour?

Answer 1

Given:

The bakers at Healthy Bakery can make 170 bagels in 2 hours.

To find:

How many bagels can they bake in 14 hours and the rate per hour.

Solution:

We have,

Number of bagels the bakers can bake in 2 hours = 170 bagels

Number of bagels the bakers can bake in 1 hours =
`(170)/(2)` bagels

= 85 bagels

Therefore, the average rate is 85 bagels per hour.

Number of bagels the bakers can bake in 14 hours =
`14* 85` bagels

= 1190 bagels

Therefore, the bakers can bake 1190 bagels in 14 hours.
